I was noting a while ago to min that between the two of us, we have claim to probably about 2/3 of this tiny fandom's works--either as recipients or creators, in one case both. A couple years ago, she wrote the longest story in the fandom and the second-longest story for that Yuletide for me, and it's hilarious to me that we've both consistently either requested it or filled requests for it. I mean, it's objectively a difficult movie with a lot of problematic things in it, but it also has this weirdly forward-thinking approach to certain things, especially the way women are judged for their sexual histories, and Chris Evans makes a damn good Manic Pixie Dream Boy, plus he's naked a lot and was in a particularly hot phase of life. There's also enough empty spaces that you can create really interesting stories for the characters, and fan writers adore that. Which is a long way of saying that min wrote another good, long, meaty Yuletide story for WYN? this year, and you should go read it.
